Sorry but are you jokeing you have loads of the same type of apps. Close the thred.
Sent from my Pulse Mini using Tapatalk
No I am not jokeing and I know I have some apps of the same kind and that is why I am asking the members which one they thing I should keep and which one I should remove.
Do the brave thing and delete everything. You'll soon realise what you need.
Seriously, I stopped reading the list when I saw, like, 5 news readers. Keep Pulse (or your favorite if it's not pulse), and delete the rest. Delete any news apps, and find the address to its RSS feed. Add those feeds to whatever reader you kept, and you've already eliminated at least 5 redundant apps.
Use the same strategy for everything else. You should be able to tell when two apps are doing the same thing. Just pick your favorite and delete the rest.
Edit: Are you kidding me? 5 or 6 file managers. I would stick with Root Explorer or SU and delete the rest.
I'm gonna leave it at that, because that is way too many apps. Good luck streamlining.
Looks like a list of downloaded warez, and you're just trying to figure out which ones to use.

AAAH! MY EYES THEY BURN! dude litterally. what are you tryin to do go app crazy? CM6.1 has it's own file manager that works great (once the full version comes out i'll be happy) as for all the double apps get rid of em. literally why so many apps. only keep the ones you will use not the ones that will sit and collect fragmentation (hahaha fragmentation kinda like dust is to objects).

I was thinking the same thing when I saw both Root Explorer and SU on the list, not to mention all the other duplicate-function paid apps.
@OP: You should listen to the dude who said to delete everything and start from scratch. And with no wares this time.

Do you have all of these apps installed and running on your phone?
Sounds like you would have some performance issues with these apps, narrow the list.
Do a Google search for the "app" name + "Android review". When I am looking to accomplish a certain task, I Google that on some review site. This will narrow your scope.
I have not, I repeat I have not downloaded these apps from waez or as a package but spent time on appbrain and install each and EVRY app I listed and tried them, th initial liost was 500+ apps, I have narrowed to 200 apps, I just wanted to know which ones people think are the ones worth keeping, the reason I have shortlisted these are because I like the functionality and Ui, however it could happen that some function is available in app x and also in appy but I don't know yet (not played enough), but people on the forum are able to point that out.
Most of the apps listed are highly rated and popular.
I have updated the list by cutting down on some apps.
i will give reason for each app, once i find some time.
That's defo a warez list lol.
You wouldn't have listed all the free version and paid versions if not.
No way you'd have paid for all those apps without trying them.
Made me lol in rl.
Use whichever you feel more comfy using.
Good luck
edit... quick Google search I just found your current list in a wares torrent. In the same order.... Lol

And for every app group (be it warez or not), there is not simply an app that beats them all. It all depends upon your interests and personal preferences, and no one but you can decide what is the app out of a group that fits you most. So please stop asking others to do a work you only can do yourself.

i fully agree with that!
HOARDER!!!!! Wahhh i need moar warez....oh noes i need moar appz naO!!!!!!!
Killkill kill this thread ban the op and take away his poor phone.

I have actually been felt very offended by the fact that members feel that I am using from torrent or warez. As proof here is the list on appbrain:
appbrain .com / user / mohitgarg / need-to-test-install
appbrain .com / user / mohitgarg / faved
And mr leetvtr, eff off, i could find the apps u use in a torrent too.
If I wanted to keep them and be a horder I would not have listed them, the whole purpose was to get input from people about what they feel about an app and if they would discourage the use of a particular app for some particular reason.
I actually did try all of them for less than 22 hours (paid) as I wanted to try and then get a refund, thus didn not have enough time to play with them, but these r the ones i liked in terms of first impression. I actually have tried many more (paid too) apps but did not like them and thus needed your help, what a friendly society, really!
Cut down to one newsreader. For social apps, I'd use Facebook, TweetCaster, GoChat, and Tapatalk.
This combination provides the best coverage of features with the smallest footprint on your phone.
I would also go with Winamp for music, and YXPlayer for movies, since they each offer the best quality and broadest compatibility of their respective media types. I'd also cut down to just Astro and Root Explorer for file managers. While Astro may seem redundant, it's been beneficial to me to have a "pedestrian" file manager, and I also find Astro's zip manager more reliable. Only keep the Google Apps you are actually going to use. I can almost guarantee Google Sky and Goggles will just end up collecting dust in your app tray. The majority of the apps you have listed are pretty specific in purpose. If you aren't using then, and aren't sure if you need them, back then up with AppMonster and uninstall them. You'll always have then to reinstall from your SD if you every want to try then again. That's about all the advice I've got.

Thanks for the constructive criticism, higly appreciated.
I have updated the list, need more suggestions.
just rooted my SGS4G and i was wondering if there is a list somewhere with all safe to remove crap?

Why, exactly? The only thing that happens when you remove it is that you can't access Drive Smart settings.

I think someone in another thread mentioned that it caused problems with another app or got force closes.
I removed DriveSmart and the only issue is that under Android settings, the tile for DriveSmart is still there and if you press it, you get a FC. That's the only problem I've noticed in the past 2 months.
Which services/apk's are safe to freeze in the ICS leak/CWMs?
I wanna get the most battery life out of the build but wouldn't really know what to freeze and it would be a good list to have.

*Note: I'm using apex launcher so I felt it was ok to freeze TwLauncher. And I don't tether so I froze TetheringProvision. I don't use accuweather, so I froze accuweather.. I don't share with all so I froze Allshare, etc..
So beware: Freezing what I did may blow up your phone or it might actually be the cure for the common cold. I honestly don't know so please don't blame me if freezing these items destroys your phone. But I would like some credit if it actually cures the common cold.

So if you froze the TouchWiz launcher, I assume you are using something else. I would say that is bad advice to give without disclaiming that beforehand. Also if you freeze TetheringProvision you won't be able to tether via the built in settings.

Doesn't exist in Android 4 any more....
I stumbled upon this and think it’s pretty cool. I haven’t used BlinkFeed but from what’s been posted this does pretty much the same thing. It’s actually better because HTC limits content to what they provide while Socialife allows you to add your own RSS feeds and decide what you want shown (and when). It also lets you control the layout (visual vs. list) and comes with some pretty cool widgets. I haven’t been using it that long but haven’t found any real faults yet.

Here are some screen shots…
Looks really interesting..
Will give it a try

This is how blinkfeed should have been implemented to begin with.
Good find.:good:
Unfortunately it requires you to log-in using a Facebook account which is blocked in the country I do business in. So compared to Blinkfeed, it fails because you cannot use it in all countries, only those countries that allow freedom of speech
google reader?
other rss reader should be fine.
It forced me to use Facebook. That's a bit annoying.

I was wondering about this too! Try as I might, it just refused to work and yet the OP claimed it worked well.
And yeah ... I don't have an FB account, so I guess there is no point in my striving to get it to work

It still does. The APK in the original post is outdated and perhaps Sony's not suporting it anymore. Here's a link to a newer APK.
http://www.mediafire.com/?v6vlr7lbo34f6ek
This app is limited by Sony to only run on certain of their devices. The APK above has been hacked to work on -all- devices. The Market version won't work - ever.

You can't use it without a FB sign-in. There are only two ways to register for Socialife. With a Sony account or a FB account. To use a Sony account requires a Sony Entertainment Network app on your device that won't run. So FB is the only way to sign-in for people that want to use it.
The "Services" you can use with Socialife are FB, Twitter, YouTube, and VKontakte (Russia). The "New" piece is any of the feeds Sony's already loaded or you can add any RSS feed you'd like. Socialife is a great RSS replacement for Google Reader.

Thank you! Been looking for this for a while now.
What are the first 5 things u install to your new Android device as soon as u receive new one or restore device?
I took almost a 3 year break from Android and now that I am back, most of the Apps I used to use are no longer updated.
I'm used to try lots of custom roms and some of my must install apps are:
Titanium Backup,
Greenify,
Metal (FB app, but less memory hungry),
FireTube (listen YouTube music with screen off),
OneDrive (got more space than Google Drive),
PlayerPro (for me best player),
QuickPic,
Root Explorer,
SuperBeam,
SwiftKey and
Xposed + GravityBox.
If ROM doesn't come with performance function I use System Tuner Pro.
On older systems I was installing SMS Backup & Restore (but no need any more...)
And than I install some "optional" apps (not allways):
Adblock,
MIX (powerfull pict edior but comes only for Samsung I believe),
Some of Runtastic apps,
SD Maid,
TeamViewer,
Weather & Clock Widget and
Xda app.
Good question but this it's the place for this discussion!

There's an app called "Free App of the Day"
you can give that a shot
You should also get Google Opinion Rewards.
You basically do surveys and get like 10-40 cents per survey, sometimes even more, which can be used to buy apps and other things on the play store.

This one tells you when an app is on sale:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...medium=appbrain_web&utm_campaign=appbrain_web
+1 for AppSales. I used to use Free App of the Day but after not seeing anything useful over the course of a couple of weeks, I quit looking at it.

Once that's installed, all of my previous apps are restored automatically, even where I placed them on my home screen.
Really don't need anything else except for side-loaded apps, but not that many now that I don't have root on this phone.
